Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars- Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS Thread 2

New thread

Guidelines
I'm starting this first one but hoping that when a thread looks close to ending another thread member can set the next one up. This is not working out so well. 😂

To avoid duplicate threads please try to post in the thread that's ending to alert everyone you're setting up a new one.

Other members check who was first to offer and whether a new one is live.
It might be an idea to keep a list of advents that are live in the OP and later on which are sold out. This can be copy/pasted/edited when a new thread is started.

It probably goes without saying but please be courteous and patient with each other. This thread will have spoilers and please no judging of others for their purchasing choices. Participation in the threads is optional.

Oh false alarm guys. It's gone to my old email address, the one linked to my PayPal. I've got a feeling I'm not getting rewards points for my order 😮‍💨 it's not on my orders. My heart is absolutely racing.

OvaHere · 03/08/2026 10:31

JoRaRaRa · 03/08/2026 10:28

Would you all reorder? @OvaHere does it take longer to come through if you've paid via PayPal? PayPal are saying that it's gone through.

My confirmation email came through before the paypal confirmation email.

OP posts:
JoRaRaRa · 03/08/2026 10:34

I don't check that email address so it's not great that it's gone there. I'll have to hope you guys update me on delivery dispatches etc.

I also haven't received a notification to say they've gone live. I'm glad though that we all now have the rest of the day / week. I'm shaking now though, I think I need a coffee, or maybe something stronger and a calms 🤣

BeanNaGealai · 03/08/2026 10:34

It doesn't seem to be available on the website yet. They've obviously done the same as last year and released on the app first.

It doesn't say anything about duties and tariffs on mine so I'm assuming it's duty paid and I won't get a massive shock when it ships next month.

Benny12 · 03/08/2026 10:36

harrods fragrance calendar is available !!!

AlPaccacino · 03/08/2026 10:36

Got mine, I hope. Apple Pay and it’s come out of my bank, plus email from Harrods

Benny12 · 03/08/2026 10:37

and sorry if this has been posted already

Don't apologise, its good to know we're all looking out for each other to secure the goods! 😊

pinkchampagne1 · 03/08/2026 10:40

AprilLady · 03/08/2026 10:21

Anyone having issues with the BAC? It says it doesn’t ship to my country (UK!) when I try to check out?

That’s strange. I haven’t trued to purchase the beauty calendar yet - will get DH on the case when he wakes up as he is ordering it for my birthday present. Hope you’ve managed to get your order through now

JoRaRaRa · 03/08/2026 10:40

pinkchampagne1 · 03/08/2026 10:38

Phew!! 😃

I was nearly buying it again, I would've ended up like that guy last year with all the hfacs 🙈 maybe that's what he did 🤣

user593 · 03/08/2026 10:41

I wasn’t planning on buying it and haven’t posted on this thread before but I got swept away in the excitement and ordered via PayPal credit. Got both my confirmations from Harrods and PayPal so hopefully it all goes through. I had no idea it was all so fraught!

ClutteredPalace · 03/08/2026 10:47

Changing the subject slightly, the Holland and Barrett wait list is open for their calendar. It'll be £60 this year, not sure how much last years was but it seems a good price.

Addictedtobeauty · 03/08/2026 10:50

@JoRaRaRa also not showing in my orders yet. I hope it goes- I want the reward points! They usually add some bonus points randomly too. Last year I got £10 bonus points which I think was for ordering either this or the BAC.
@Willow742 I was so excited at ordering I didn’t even noticed it was an affiliate link! Someone has done very well today!

It was £50 last year I think.

Thelifeofawife · 03/08/2026 10:51

@JoRaRaRa Glad your confirmation came though! It didn’t occur to me to use PayPal - I’ve only recently reinstated my account after a couple of years not using it.
I also don’t use credit cards. I’m hoping it all goes smoothly!

Haha, would have been funny if you’d ended up with like 6 of them 😅 between them and the BACs you get, you’d be opening one every month 🤣

user593 · 03/08/2026 10:56

I used PayPal credit so I can spread the cost out and feel less guilty 😅

Doglover73 · 03/08/2026 10:59

ClutteredPalace · 03/08/2026 10:22

I'm especially grateful for the link as my app seems to be glitching. I looked to see if I could have ordered through there and I just get a blank screen. Thankfully my order confirmation came in via email as its currently not available in the app.

Mines the same through app. I just thought id look as saw all the messages. 🤣 im not ordering as dont think most are for me and cba selling on. Have too much fragrance as it is. Glad youve all managed to get one.
And breathe 🤣🤩

SoloCat · 03/08/2026 11:00

Well, there goes not buying the FAC 😂 I’ll be gifting a couple, so that’s my excuse.
Thanks for all the info everyone. I’ve also purchased the BAC!
I have no will power!

My app doesn't work either so really grateful for the link to buy via browser. Honestly after all the sales pitch to download the app and check the app it just doesn't work. I can see the preorder button but it then goes to a blank page. Same for the BAC and the Hair & Body ones.

OP posts:
Thelifeofawife · 03/08/2026 11:10

@OvaHere @Doglover73 How strange, I ordered mine through the app with no issues.
I did have a slight panic as my bank has an annoying thing where I have to approve the spend in my banking app, so had to go off the Harrods app to do it, I just kept thinking I was going to get knocked off my order and lose out 🙈

Addictedtobeauty · 03/08/2026 11:12

Just ordered the BAC too- I know I want it so now I can forget about it.

pinkchampagne1 · 03/08/2026 11:14

There is a post on Hotukdeals linking the fragrance calendar now so I imagine it will sell out very quickly

Sminty2 · 03/08/2026 11:15

I just received a curious pop up whilst on the Boots app, they seem to be really working hard on the FAC.
